SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE: THE HALLMARK OF PERFECTING YOUR BEING IN JESUS!

“. . . 15 But SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE [in all things—both our SPEECH and our LIVES expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him [following His example] who is the Head—Christ. 16 From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up in [UNSELFISH] LOVE” Ephesians 4:11-16/Amplified.

BEING AUTHENTIC in doing life and living godly in the grace, is a hallmark to the call of grace upon every believer of God in Christ Jesus stead. And SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, is the earnest HALLMARK of perfecting our being and relationships towards God firstly and other fellow humans that we do life within our day-to-day earthly endeavours, in the grace in Christ Jesus.

So, SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE is not only by the living but in every medium of communication, be it by the: Spoken, Written, Audio, Video, Graphic and such like. It signals maturity in the grace and in the faith that one upholds the principle of being responsible, being accountable, being honest and of repentance to a fault. This hallmark indicates the status of a GENUINE person to take a stand in leadership.

“Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; 2 and WALK CONTINUALLY IN LOVE [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also LOVED you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance” Ephesians 5:1-2/Amplified.

Speaking the TRUTH in love, gives the ability to return, apologise and undo the wrong with the good – hallmark of genuine path to being authentic and acceptable to all irrespective.

The resolve to SPEAKING TRUTH IN LOVE – is the medicine that everyone wants but unwilling to swallow. Let’s bring it back and uphold it again in life and grace. To being honest to a fault is a pure medicine for leadership that indicates that repentance works for the good of all in the grace. Our redemption is as authentic as the blood that cleanses us when SPEAKING TRUTH IN LOVE is rooted and grounded in our walk and work with God, in the grace in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is LIGHT and in Him is NO DARKNESS AT ALL. 7 But if we WALK IN THE LIGHT as He is in the LIGHT, we have FELLOWSHIP with one another, and the BLOOD of Jesus Christ His Son CLEANSES us from ALL SIN. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we DECEIVE ourselves, and THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US. 9. If we confess our sins, He is FAITHFUL and JUST to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and HIS WORD IS NOT IN US” 1 John 1:5-10/NKJV.

Endeavour to listen and learn of God in Christ Jesus, – that being humble and pure in whether you are in spiritual leadership or not – the TRUTH is your medicine – this is very important in our today and tomorrow good and goodness. Our redemption has no place for any that’s not SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE.

Blessed regards.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“See what an incredible quality of love the Father has shown to us, that we would [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so, we are! For this reason, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him . . . 13 Do not be surprised, believers, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into Life, because we love the brothers and sisters. He who does not love remains in [spiritual] death. 15 Everyone who HATES (works against) his brother [in Christ] is [at heart] a murderer [by God’s standards]; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. [Matt 5:21-23] 16 By this we know [and have come to understand the depth and essence of His precious] love: that He [willingly] laid down His life for us [because He loved us]. And we ought to lay down our lives for the believers . . .” 1 John 3:1-24/Amplified.

“Beloved, let us [UNSELFISHLY] LOVE and seek the best for one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves [others] is born of God and knows God [through personal experience]. 8 The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] 9 By this the love of God was displayed in us, in that God has sent His [One and] only begotten Son [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind] into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God’s requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath]. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us [in this incredible way], we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at any time. But if we love one another [with unselfish concern], God abides in us, and His love [the love that is His essence abides in us and] is completed and perfected in us . . . 16 We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him. 17 In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; because as HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]. 19 We love, because He first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates (works against) his [Christian] brother he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should also [UNSELFISHLY] LOVE his brother and seek the best for him” 1 John 4:17-21/Amplified.
